The book handles all the techniques, principles and recommended applications regarding sampling, proximate analysis and special analysis for the main components in foods, carbohydrate, protein and fats. It also includes an excellent review on the biochemical and instrumental methods. I would recommend a second book regarding the special analysis for the food groups. I lecture on food analysis and found it to be an excellent support for my course.

i found it a very good book to understand the basics of spectroscopy and chromatography in addition to other analysis procedures.

This is an instructor's manual for a college-level course. If you're looking for something of general interest, such as a calorie-counting book, this is not for you. Table of contents includes government regulations and standards, compositional analysis and chemical properties, spectroscopy, chromatography, and physical properties of foods. Chapter 1 starts with multiple choice questions that refer to pages in another text.

This text book is required by the professor for the course my daughter taking for her 4th year in bio-engineering and is available in the university bookstore at twice the price we paid at Amazon. The delivery time for Amazon is amazingly fast, virtually overnight for Amazon Prime account, my daughter is completely satisfied with it. I would advise those who are attending college to make Amazon as the first stop for their text book needs.
